With Friday being a sunny day in Clark County it triggered the
"Slender-billed' White-breasted Nuthatches on Lady Island into song.
While I was working on this privately owned island, which is in the
Columbia River at Camas, Clark County, WA, I could hear at least a half
dozen of these birds calling from the cottonwood forest. This was in just
a few acre section of this 400 acre island so I imagine that the total
nuthatch population on the island is much larger than I had previously
thought. If I can find the time I will check some other parts of the
island to see if the birds are evenly distributed across it.
